SHUTTER FOR CHAFING-DISH LAMPS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Evnnn'rr D. HoLLnY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Forestville, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Shutters for Chafing-Dish Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

lily invention. relates to improvements in shutters for chafing dish lamps, and the objects of my improvement are simplicity and economy in construction and convenience and efficiency in operation.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a sectional plan View of my shutters, the plane of section being through the cap just above the shutter Wings. 2 a like view of the main portion of the same with the shutters opened. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line :7; a of Fig. 2, a portion of the handle being shown in elevation.

A, designates the lamp body or cup which may be of any ordinary construction. lit is covered with an annular plate 4- that forms the top of the lamp. l wo \vhiltletree levers 5, 5, are pivoted to this plate t at diametrically opposite sides of the central opening in. the said annular plate, the pivots 6 thereof being at the middle of the length of the said levers. Two shutter Wings 7 and 1 of substantially a semi-circular form with a right angular arm 8 extending from their straight and confronting edges are pivoted to the Specification of Letters Patent.

outer ends of the said levers, one end of each lever being pivoted to the outer end of each shutter arm by the pivot 9, and the other end to the shutter wings at their junction vsith the said arms by the pivot 10. The shutter Wing ll is provided with a handle 12 rigidly connected therewith. The shutters are covered by the cap 13.

The OpPIzttiOl'l is very simple and the movement of the shutters very smooth and easy. Pulling or pushing on the handle in substantially the direction of its length will 4 swing the lovers, shutter wings and handle to carry them from the closed position shown in Fig. 1 to their open position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, or vice versa. in thus moving from one position to the other, all of the parts wing to a greater or less extent on the pivots. The open position for the shutters is substantially indicated by broken contour lines in Fig. 1.

I claim as my invention A shutter for chafing dish lamps consisting of the lamp top, two whillletree levers pivoted thereto at the middle of their length, and a pair of shutter vxings provided with arms and pivoted to the outer ends of the said levers, one of the said Wings being provided with an operating handle.
